Congratulations to NCH Software! Tucows drew your name in our PAD Polling Drawing for 1 (one) week Run of Site advertising for your 300 x 250 ad, a $600 (USD) value, FREE! Please contact Account Manager, Kristal@Tucows.com within the next 30 days to claim your prize!

The only requirement to enter our monthly drawing is to submit the URL where your PAD file is hosted. This is our way of saying thanks for helping us keep your software listings up-to-date with the most current version and description! Unless you're an ARC subscriber, we will automatically poll your PAD file for updates once every 6 months. If you are an ARC subscriber ($9.99/mo or $100/yr), we will begin providing the additional service of polling for updates each month rather than twice a year. If you are an ARC subscriber -AND- spend a minimum of $200 a month in ARC -OR- have purchased a First Class Yearly ($2,000), we'll check all of your titles for updates daily as well as process them in an expedited manner — a courtesy reserved only for our valued subscribing authors and publishers! If you haven't yet created a PAD file, let me recommend PADbuilder.com, a free and simple online PAD generator. Of course, it's entirely up to you to keep your PAD file fresh and updated on your server from there.

This time, we're giving away an advertising package worth $1000 (USD) to not just one, but five lucky winners! For your chance to win, log into your ARC account here, and point to the location of your PAD file in either the Add Software or Update Software forms. If you've previously linked us to your PAD file, you're automatically qualified!

We'll announce the winners in next month's newsletter and Tucows' Author Resource Center. Good luck, Developers!
